Digital Multimeters – Tektronix DMM4050 and DMM4040
AC Current
The following AC current specifications are for sinusoidal signals with amplitudes
greater than 5% of range. For inputs from 1% to 5% of range, add an additional
error of 0.1% of range.
Characteristic Description
Input Protection Tool-accessible 11 A / 1000 V and 440 mA / 1000 V fuses,
limits of 400 mA continuous 550 mA for 2 minutes on,
1minute off
Measurement Method AC-coupled true RMS, DC-coupled to the fuse and shunt
(noblocking capacitor)
AC Filter Bandwidth
Slow 3 Hz to 10 kHz
Medium 20 Hz to 10 kHz
Fast 200 Hz to 10 kHz
Maximum Crest Factor 5:1 at Full Scale
Additional Crest Factor
Errors (<100 Hz)
Crest factor 1–2, 0.05% of full scale
Crest factor 2–3, 0.2% of full scale
Crest factor 3–4, 0.4% of full scale
Crest factor 4–5, 0.5% of full scale
Only applies to non-sinusoid signals
